Born November 2, 1912, Nick moved to Franklin, New Jersey with his family when he was 12 years old. They came from the heart of Pennsylvania coal mining country, Oceola Mills, Pa., where his father was a coal miner. His father was a zinc miner at Franklin until he was badly injured in a mine accident and could no longer work. Nick brought with him two Franklin mineral specimens given to him when he was 7 years old by a coal miner (who formerly worked in the Franklin mine) staying at his mother's boarding house. These two specimens were the beginning of the legendary "Nick Zipco" collection of Franklin minerals. Nick has preserved the most comprehensive collection of "ore associated" mineral assemblages from the Franklin mine in the world. He also has a very fine collection of Sterling Hill minerals. He was one of the original exhibitors for the earliest Franklin Mineral Shows held at The "Nabe" (neighborhood house). He was involved in the process of acquisition and preservation of the Buckwheat Dump property now owned by the Town of Franklin and operated by the Franklin Mineral Museum. Nick has much more to his credit including running Trotter Dump for many years and helping out around the museum. But his biggest contribution has been captivating thousands of people young and old who have visited and continue to visit Franklin and Sterling Hill, by telling stories of working in the mines and spreading his knowledge about Franklin minerals to students and collectors. From time to time we still hear people say, "what would Franklin be without Nick Zipco?" There are few words which can describe the appreciation for what this great man has done for Franklin and Sterling Hill. 1. The Franklin-Sterling Hill area Mineral Species List Compiled from numerous sources by Pete J. Dunn of the Smithsonian Institution and John L. Baum, Curator of the Franklin Mineral Museum, in May, 1995, following the nomenclature of the Glossary of Mineral Species (Fleischer, 1991). Procedures for adding species to this list are given in The Picking Table, 28. #1, pages 4-5 (1987).

Fluorescent Minerals of Franklin and Sterling Hill, N.J A 1994 CHECK-LIST BASED ON OBSERVATIONS BY RICHARD C. BOSTVVICK FL = fluoresces; PH = phosphoresces; SW - shortwave ultraviolet radiation; LW = longwave ultraviolet radiation These descriptions are necessarily brief and hence simplistic. the ultraviolet wavelength (SW or LW) listed with a fluorescent response is the wavelength for which the response is stronger; many listed minerals fluoresce under both LW and SW. Unusual fluorescent responses are listed in parentheses. Fluorescent intensity and subtle differences in hue are not mentioned. While mineral fluorescence is a powerful tool for rapid mineral identification, it should be used in conjunction with other identification techniques. Albite: FL red SW Manganathdte: FL red SW Aragonite: FL,PH cream LW Margarite: FL blue SW (FL green SW) Margarosanite: FL blue and red SW Barite: FL cream SW (FL orange LW) (FL tan LW, green SW) Marialite: FL yellow SW, pink LW Barylite: FL violet SW Mcallisterite: FL cream SW conspicuous under iron arc Meionite: FL pinkish-red SW (FL pink, Basssmite: FL, PH violet SW orange, yellow etc.) Bustsunite: FL red LW Meta-ankoleite: FL green SW Cahnite: FL cream SW Metalodevite: FL green SW Calcite: FL red w/red-orange PH Microcline: FL blue or red SW (FL pink, orange, cream, green, Minehillite: FL violet SW blue, yellow, violet etc.) Monohydrocalcite: FL green SW Canavasite: FL,PH violet LW Nasonite: FL pale Yellow SW Celestine: FL cream LW Newberryite: FL cream SW (FL violet SW) Norbergite: FL yellow SW Cerussite: LW yellow LW Oyelite-like mineral: FL violet and White LW Chabazite: FL green SW Pargasite: FL greenish-blue SW Charlesite: FL pale blue SW, but Pectolite: FL, PH orange SW coated with cream FL gypsum Phlogopite: FL yellow SW Chondrodite: FL yellow SW Picrophannacolite: FL white LW Clinohednte: FL orange-yellow SW Powellite: FL yellow SW Corundum: FL deep-red LW Prelmite: FL pinkish orange SW Cuspidine: FL orange-yellow SW Quarte: yellow or green SW brief orange-red
